Do people in real life that are in the middle of taking a shower stop mid shower to go answer the door because someone rings the bell?

How about leaving the shower to answer the phone?

For me finishing the shower is more important than rushing trailing water and suds to go to the door, or the phone, whoever that is can wait or came back later.
I definitely have for the door, and still would. The few callers recently are people I didn't want to miss. For the phone, it has changed. When it was just a landline, I would, but I wouldn't for a mobile.

Also, it depends on who else is at home and in what state. I have rushed out of the shower so that they wouldn't wake my wife when she was sick or had a migraine.
